In today’s Digital Age everyone is vying for attention and engagement on social media. Remember your posts and interactions define who you are, be careful not to adopt the look at me approach, as it can limit your social presence as a creative being. Post for fun, but don’t leave out thought. Words live on forever in the Digital World!

In the meantime, feast your eyeballs on the 1st APPISODE of the CYBER OPTICS MOTION COMIC SERIES, “THE CONTEST.”

Mankind has not woven the web of life. Humans are but a thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. The same principle applies to the World Wide Web.

Thanks to the growth of Internet use, families and friends are more connected than ever before. Web conferences across the globe allow companies to truly work together. But with so many devices and social networks, apps and games, one can become anxious and gadget obsessed. Checking for gaming updates, texts and messages every five minutes? Lucky for you, we have some things to help you disconnect.

Issue 3 “The Digital Divide” is now available. Order it here on the site and kick back for an exciting read. Maya deep sea dives to save Zip who is trapped in an undersea transcontinental ocean floor cable as digital code. The Issue boasts a pull out poster of Maya’s undersea adventure! It also boasts the clues to crack the new crossword puzzle.

2013 also debuts our all-new Trading Cards – A visual treat. Send in the crossword puzzle completed and we’ll send you a card from the awesome new deck. And remember when it comes to the web, information last forever! Resist the urge to post, tweet or share photos you may later regret. You don’t have to completely unplug but be cautious of the digital trails you leave behind.

On May 2nd, 2012, Cyber Optics Entertainment was as an official sponsor for the Geena Davis’s Institute of Gender in Media! William Turner, owner of Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, CA, hosted a fantastic evening to bring awareness to institute’s findings.

Geena was quite the comedian while delivering some startling facts about Gender Inequality in Media. Also, Brown Johnson (Nickelodeon Networks) spoke about the Network being open to cartoons with female leads, citing Winx Club & Legend of Korra debut on the Nickelodeon channels. It was so nice NOT to hear that tired old phrase “We’re only looking for Boy Centric properties.” It’s so last millennium!

February kicks off travel to New York City for KSS & TOY FAIR where Cyber Optics will be debuting their ANIMATED SIZZLE REEL based on their Comic Book Series.

The newly reformatted 24 page, action packed Issue 2 Burger Mania Comic will also be released. Read it here on the site and send in the interactive contest from the inside back cover to win a free Cyber Optics Prize!

In the meantime remember whatever you post on the Net builds a textual and visual history that will be accessible to not only the colleges and jobs you apply for, but to that special person you’re interested in, should they choose to Google you or look you up on the social nets. Keep private what should be kept private. Your future self will thank you! But, please share the best news you have and your favorite new technology by e-mailing us at info@cyberopticsentrertainment.net. Zip, Java or Maya will get back to you if I don’t. Let us know which character’s storyline you’d like to see unfold next in Cyber Optics, and send in your name, age and the city/country you live in if you’d like to see a Cyber Optics TV Series. We’ll add it to the growing list!

Cyber Crime is on the rise! This past year besides the many corporations that were attacked and even more so embarrassed by the attacks – Criminal Hackers usual teenage suspects were joined by Criminal Corporate Hackers stealing information for headlines and financial gain. Corporate Hacking Scandals rates amongst the worst of cyber crimes, destroying the trust in the institutions the public puts their faith in. Anyone caught Criminal Hacking faces prosecution but corporations exposed to be using these practices biggest challenge is to regain not only the public trust, but the young talent it hopes to attract to work in its organization trust. Net Ethics goes both ways, we expect kids, teenagers, young students and employees to have it. Now we must also hold our corporations and public organizations to the same Net Ethics.

Zip, Java and Maya have a long list of places to ferret out and are sure to keep me super busy.
